There will be an IMS Learning Tools Interoperability – Webinar available to the public on Friday, 31 July at 10am US EDT.
Presenter: Charles Severance
Length: 1 hour presentation 0.5 hours questions
This webinar will give an overview of the IMS Learning Tools Interoperability specification. IMS LTI allows externally hosted tools and content to be integrated into a learning management system in a standard and interoperable manner. LTI is similar in scope to Blackboard Building Blocks, WebCT PowerLinks, and the Blackboard 9 Proxy tool pattern. LTI gives tool builders the ability to write one integration and integrate their tool into a number of LMS systems without writing any LMS-specific code or LMS specific plugin. IMS LTI functions as the “universal plugin point” to any LMS which supports LTI. IMS LTI also will be integrated into the IMS Common Cartridge v1.1, allowing publishers and LMS systems to produce cartridges with authenticated links back to protected content hosted on publisher servers. The webinar will cover the timeline and scope for the LTIv2.0 specification under development, as well as the BasicLTI profile of LTI. Find out more at: http://www.imsglobal.org/webinarseries/
The webinar is free, but registration and community access is required.
